Being a good pet owner can be a lot of work. From selecting the best food to providing good physical and mental stimulation to keeping up with wellness care, there is a lot that goes into taking good care of your furry family member. As your partner in pet wellness, Ten West Bird and Animal Hospital is here to help you along the way. For Spay and Neuter Awareness Month, we would like to focus on the importance of spaying and neutering your pets.

It’s only natural for pets to pursue (and thoroughly lap up) love and affection from their favorite people. But when their ploys for your attention go from adorable to downright aggressive, it could be a sign that your pet is jealous. 

At Ten West Bird & Animal Hospital, we’re happy to help restore harmony in your home if you’re dealing with a jealous pet. As with any behavioral problem, the first step is to schedule an examination so we can rule out medical issues that could be to blame for your pet’s behavior.

Who wouldn’t be charmed by a puppy or kitten popping out of a holiday gift box complete with a bright red bow on top? From cartoons to commercials, this holiday trope seems as old as time. And while pet adoptions that start this way can work out terrifically, giving a pet as a gift to someone else, sadly, doesn’t always have wonderful results. The good news is that you can contribute in other ways to the overall health and happiness of everyone involved.
